2004/12/31Feed2JS Has Its Own Feed (published via MT)
2004/12/30Alan Levine has a post on his blog that describes how he is publishing updates on Feed2JS using MovableType.

Recording Skype for Podcasting – a possible solution
2004/12/22In the iPodder-developer Yahoo group, Julian Bond posted the following method for recording Skype calls using Audacity under Windows.

The Great Playlist Meme '04
2004/12/08After reading the revealing playlists shown by Alec “New Edition” Couros and D’Arcy Norman, I thought I’d join in the fun. Here’s what turned up when I spun the wheel!
